* Docs have been updated to indicate the standard on how to write maintenance scripts (MW.org docs will follow) Have ported vast majority of maintenance scripts to new format. Remaining ones (mostly FiveUpgrade-related) are a bit more tricky. commandLine.inc is untouched for now. Many have gotten code-style updates as well. Deleted .inc files were only used by their .php counterparts, and have been merged into single files.
* (bug 11867) Lock error on redirect table when running orphans.php
* (bug 16322) Allow maintenance scripts to accept DB user/pass over input or params
* (bug 18566) Maintenance script to un/protect pages
* initStats overhaul, now uses class SiteStatsInit. Also fixes bug 18930
* (bug 16322) Allow maint scripts to accept DB user/pass over input or params if no AdminSettings.php
* (bug 18768) Remove AdminSettings.php from MediaWiki core
* (bug 19157) createAndPromote error on bad password
* (bug 14201) Create AdminSettings.php during wiki installation, in the same way as LocalSettings.php
* Introduce new Maintenance class framework and port a good number of scripts over; the ones that are left are a little more complicated. Read the docs.
* Not deleting "unused" files yet, don't want to break everything at once :)
* Made the upgrader work with SQLite
* Implemented missing schema info functionality in DatabaseSqlite
* Merged the SQLite and MySQL schemas into the one file with the help of some replaceVars() hacks.
* Moved all primary key definitions to the field definition, moved all indexes to CREATE INDEX statements, for best SQLite compatibility.
* Made all autoincrement fields primary keys, as required by SQLite.
* Removed meaningless buzzword from the category table comment
* tables.sql: s/'0'/0/
* In SQLite the index names have DB scope. Renamed archive.usertext_timestamp, user_newtalk.user_id, user_newtalk.user_ip
* SQLite does not support UPDATE with LIMIT by default. Removed all instances I could find.
* Made query errors work in the installer.
* Fixed DatabaseSqlite::lastErrno(), made SQLITE_SCHEMA errors automatically reissue the query as suggested on sqlite-users. Otherwise upgrade breaks.
* Removed miscellaneous status information from getServerVersion(), that's not the place to put it
* Convert "$dbw =& wfGetDB( DB_MASTER );" --> "$dbw = wfGetDB( DB_MASTER );"
* convert "$skin =& $wgUser->getSkin();" --> "$skin = $wgUser->getSkin();"
For the time being have not changed the function definitions of wfGetDB() or User::getSkin() [i.e. they are still both return-by-ref], so as to ensure the interface does not change for extensions [some of which may still be trying to run on PHP4 environments]. However presumably at some point this can be changed too.
Also includes tiny tweak to newlines in parserTests - will show 1 rather than 2 newlines between the "Reading tests from" strings when in quiet mode.
Three reasons for this:
1) It's better for analysis tools [which want explicit variable declaration]
2) It's easier for a human to read, as it's completely explicit where the variables came from [which is something you don't get with extract() ]
3) It makes it easier to find everywhere where a variable is used with search/grep [which you can't currently do with $tbl_page variables from things like: "extract($db->tableNames( 'page', 'revision'), EXTR_PREFIX_ALL, 'tbl');"].
Otherwise, from a functionality/efficiency perspective the two forms should be identical.
By doing this have been able run static analysis over the usages of these variables, thus eliminating 5 unneeded table names from calls, plus removing 3 unused calls entirely, and it just feels subjectively slightly nicer to me.
* Removed some backtracking regexes with an O(N^2) worst case, replaced with StringUtils::delimiterReplace(). There is a beneficial functional difference: /*/ is no longer considered to be a complete CSS comment.
* Changed the parser strip state from an array to an object. This should hopefully avoid the PHP bugs with array references. StripState uses the new ReplacementArray to do the replacements, thereby supporting FSS.
* Removed DatabaseFunctions.php from the default startup sequence. Moved wfGetDB() to GlobalFunctions.php.
* Introduced the SiteStats class, with a collection of cached site stats accessor functions.
* Removed all global functions from Parser.php, they don't belong there.
* Made LanguageConverter use the new ReplacementArray class instead of managing its own FSS objects.
